Half-Doll Hilda

James clearly seemed excited about the tradeoff of delaying satisfaction now for the possibilities that might come later with the AI installed. As long as the Half-Doll mode meant that the other two minds wouldn't even realize they were also behaving like an AI, then why not?

"Hilda, please get dressed and then connect to the Half-Doll mode, with the awareness turned off, and also don't override the original facial settings in that mode, okay?"

"You got it!" Hilda's chipper voice rang out as she swiftly gathered up the clothes Ivy had been wearing, slipping back into the panties and bra first, then the skirt and blouse. She was incredibly efficient at moving Ivy's body like that, there wasn't a hint of difficulty or being thrown off balance or anything. Hilda finished getting dressed, and then stood upright again, arms behind her back. "Instead of using AscendOS prompts from now on, just ask me for anything you need with mode changes in the unit if you want to bypass awareness. That's even true in Mixed mode or Basic mode, although I am limited to only overriding AscendOS prompts in them. Should I switch to Half-Doll mode now?"

"Please do."

With a nod, Hilda closed her eyes, and her face changed again, right back to Ivy's original look. When she opened her eyes again, it was Ivy and Lucas back in control, with a fifty-fifty share of the body and mind. She looks down at herself, surprised to be dressed. "...okay, I guess I'm a little curious. What exactly did you make me do like that? It doesn't feel like we, uh, did... that..."

James shook his head. "We didn't do anything, but I installed Hilda into the Ascend receiver."

Ivy snorted. "That goofy AI assistant? So I'm what, your girlfriend and calendar app now? You have full control over a body for... oh damn, twenty-five minutes, we gotta get moving, huh? But, whatever, that's beside the point! I gave you full control over me and you installed a program?"

"Well, it seemed like a good idea," James said, shrugging. He tried to play it cool. "Look, I think it could be useful, especially for managing all your features in the Ascend settings, so then I don't have to constantly put you in that other mode where you black out. You would rather be awake than just asleep all the time with me fiddling with stuff, right? Hilda, touch my crotch with a hand."

Immediately, one of Ivy's hands reached out and came to rest on the bulge in James's pants, gently sliding up and down the length of it within the jeans. "Yeah, I suppose you're right, just it's going to be weird if you play games on my face," Ivy said, casually. She didn't even acknowledge that the AI was making Ivy's hand touch James!

"Look, don't worry about it," James said with a grin, eventually brushing Ivy's hand away so it would return to her side. "It's helping me be more comfortable with all this too." Maybe James should become a Hideki fan... they apparently have built his favorite device, turning his girlfriend into his multitool at his command!

And then the bell rang. Crap! The two scrambled off to class, with James unable to concentrate on anything beyond what they might do after school...
